Korean Barbecue Chicken

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...We had some wonderful food this weekend, bested only by new photos of our younger grandsons. They are as cute as they look and the food, while not as photogenic, was really delicious. Yesterday, I mentioned that the Silver Fox made a special Father's Day request for Korean barbecued chicken. I was happy to comply. We have a small but affluent Korean community in town and there are several excellent restaurants that cater to their tastes. We often frequent them, in part to learn, but mainly because the food is so fresh and tasty. That's how I learned about Korean barbecued chicken. It was love at first bite and I was determined to attempt a reasonable facsimile of it in my kitchen. I've tried several times, but haven't been able to duplicate it. However, in the course of my kitchen trials I came up with a barbecue sauce that is sweet, hot and so delicious that it might cure the major ills of the 21st century. The sauce is very easy to make, though it uses a hot chile paste that may be hard for some of you to find. If you are unable to find Korean chile paste, called gochujang, in your local Asian market or on-line, use three to four tablespoons of Sriracha in its stead. While this recipe uses boned chicken thighs, the bone-in variety can also be used. I like to marinate the chicken for at least 8 hours, so, while the chicken is quick to assemble, some advanced planning and wait time are involved. I use the outdoor grill at this time of year, but a grill pan or broiler can also be used to cook the chicken. I really hope you will this recipe. The barbecue sauce is outstanding and I know you will enjoy it. Here's the recipe.

I think we'll enjoy this on the grill. Fortunately, we have a Korean market very close. I've been doing more and more with chicken thighs lately. The little boys are so very adorable. You all must be having a special visit. Enjoy!

Oh, Mary, while the Korean Barbecue Chicken sounds wonderful, it is those precious grandsons that just steal my heart away! Oh, they are so precious! You cannot help but smile and feel happy to see those sweet faces! Thank you for the smile as well as the recipe. blessings ~ tanna
